"Loooooosie, I'm hoooooome!!" - Desi Arnaz Clearing out some of the inbox and bits picked up on the reader. I usually like to add my personal two on most things I post, but sometimes you just need to throw it out there. Plus, I got way too much good music passing through my [digital] hands -- so much good shit out there. Enjoy.

At the moment, I'm hard-pressed to envision two songs more diametrically opposed than Pedro the Lion's "When They Get To Know You They Will Run" and this recently excavated Big L freestyle from a 1995 appearance on Funk Flex. After all what goes better with your sensitive Christian-skewing indie rock fix than some hardcore rhymes about putting bullets to domes over the "Who Shot Ya'" beat. Odds are every single person that reads this blog will find to something to like in one song or the other. I also estimate that exactly four and a half people will [...]
Ok part two in a quick series of 90's hip hop songs that I loved / love. A lot of these tracks were tracks that I heard on Stretch Armstrong, Chuck Chillout or Red Alert's show. 1991 - Cypress Hill - Hand on the Pump . 1991 - Gang starr - Whos Gonna Take the Weight . 1994 - Craig Mack - Flava in your Ear . (I couldn't find the remix with Biggie, anyone got that??) 1994 - Nasty [...]
"Those are weirdo dogs. Only a weirdo would like a dog like that." -- Tom on Spike's preference for hut dogs "Let me get this straight, you saw Patton Oswald, and it was good?" -- Tom, wrapping his head around Ryan in Miami's first live comedy experience "Wait a minute. There's somebody playing tambourine in a Christian rock group?" -- Tom on Bonnie's suprising role in On Purpose "Some people might think the entire movie's a blooper reel." -- Tom on The Cannonball Run material that precedes [...]
I was thumbing through the New York Times and came across news of a new Jay-Z album . Seems that the story of Frank Lucas, as portrayed in Ridley Scott's upcoming film American Gangster, has inspired Jay-Z to put together another album. The concept album, themed around the movie , would be a throwback to the rapper's days in the Marcy projects , Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn . Coming off the heels of [...]
Rest assured, Joey " Straight Bangin " and I are putting in work, trying to import the many ballots we received into spreadsheet form. Sadly, it takes a whole lot of time, so don't expect a full list until at least late next week. All apologies. In the meantime, here's a look at the next 25 that didn't make my ballot. 50. Atmosphere- Overcast! Before concluding that 2Pac was right when [...]
I've been following Undisputed Wes' Weekly Hip Hop News Roundups at BrooklynVegan , and it dawned on me: people are still mostly talking about the same hip hop artists today as they were ten years ago. This past week's roundup features 10 – 20 year mainstays KRS-One , DJ Premier , Jay-Z , M.O.P. , Pharoahe Monch , etc. But you don't need me, or an album by Nas (love ya Nasir, but the concept is wack), to [...]
The way I view hip hop songs can generally be broken down into 3 simple equations: 1) hot beat + hot rhymes = hot track 2) hot beat + wack rhymes = hot track, but disposable 3) wack beat + hot/wack rhymes = generally unlistenable My hip hop joint of the winter is The Game's "Wouldn't Get Far" (mp3 at A Different Kitchen ). It's "Dreams of Fuckin' an R&B Bitch" circa 2006, name dropping rap video honeys with a cutting recklessness. The Kanye beat is hot, [...]
